Dr. Peter Angelos (https://twitter.com/pangelos1?s=20) is an endocrine surgeon at the University of Chicago and is really one of the founders of the field of surgical ethics. We ask him to define for us the term “surgical ethics” and chat about a number of important ethical issues such as informed consent, paternalism, and the limits of disclosure.

Bio (from https://www.uchicagomedicine.org/find-a-physician/physician/peter-angelos)
Peter Angelos, MD, PhD, is a highly regarded surgeon who has extensive experience in surgery of the thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal glands. He is also an expert in treating endocrine cancers, including thyroid, parathyroid and adrenocortical cancers, as well as islet cell tumors of the pancreas.
Dr. Angelos has a special interest in minimally invasive endocrine surgery, a type of surgery that is performed through small incisions. Minimally invasive surgery has many benefits for patients -- from less scarring and pain, to a shorter hospital stay and a quicker recovery.
An accomplished author, Dr. Angelos has published many journal articles and book chapters on his research into improving outcomes of thyroid and parathyroid surgery, minimally invasive endocrine surgery and best practices for thyroid cancer treatment.
Dr. Angelos is a recognized expert in medical ethics, and serves as associate director of the University of Chicago MacLean Center for Clinical Medical Ethics. He has written widely on ethical issues in surgical practice and how to best teach medical ethics to surgical residents.
He is past president of the American Association of Endocrine Surgeons.
